<p class="bodytext">To add a new resource record to the zone:</p>
<ol class="procedurelistnumber"><li class="procedurelistnumber">Click the <strong class="specialbold">DNS</strong> icon in the <strong class="specialbold">Services</strong> group.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Click the <strong class="specialbold">Add New Record</strong> icon in the <strong class="specialbold">Tools</strong> group.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Select a resource record type, and specify the appropriate data:<ul class="listbullet2"><li class="listbullet2">For an A record you will need to enter the domain name for which you wish to create an A record. If you are simply defining an A record for your domain, then you should leave the available field empty. If you are defining an A record for a name server then you will need to input the appropriate entry for the given name server (ie. ns1). Then, you need to enter the appropriate IP address to which to associate the domain name.</li><li class="listbullet2">For a NS record, you will need to enter the domain name for which you wish to create the NS record. If you are defining an NS record for your domain, then you will leave the available field blank. Then enter the appropriate name server name in the field provided. You will need to enter the complete name (i.e. ns1.mynameserver.com).</li><li class="listbullet2">For a MX record, you will need to enter the domain for which you are creating the MX record. For your domain, you would simply leave the available field blank. You will then need to enter your mail exchanger, this is the name of the mail server. If you are running a remote mail server named 'mail.myhostname.com' then you would simply enter 'mail.myhostname.com' into the field provided. You will then need to set the priority for the mail exchanger. Select the priority using the drop-down box: 0 is the highest and 50 is the lowest. Keep in mind you would also need to add the appropriate A record, and/or CNAME if applicable for the remote mail exchange server.</li><li class="listbullet2">For a CNAME record, you will need to first enter the alias domain name for which you wish to create the CNAME record. You then need to enter the domain name within which you want the alias to reside. Any domain name can be entered. It does not need to reside on the same server.</li><li class="listbullet2">For a PTR record you will first enter the IP address/mask for which you wish to define the pointer. Then enter the appropriate domain name for this IP to be translated to.</li><li class="listbullet2">For a TXT record, you will be able to enter an arbitrary text string, which could be a description or an SPF record.</li></ul></li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Click <strong class="specialbold">OK</strong> to submit the data.</li></ol><p class="note"><strong class="buttons">Note:</strong> When you are finished with modifying DNS records of the DNS zone, confirm the changes by clicking the <strong class="specialbold">Apply</strong> button on the DNS zone screen (<strong class="specialbold">DNS</strong>). Unconfirmed changes will not be saved.</p>
